If you didn’t know, unlike western media, Japanese light novels and JAV films tend to have extremely long and descriptive titles, sometimes spanning multiple sentences.
Western titles used to be like that as well. Here's the fill one for Robinson Crusoe (fuck colonizer scum):
The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pyrates.
Longest one I could find is: "I'm a successful light novel author at a boy's high school, but I'm being strangled by a female classmate who's a voice actress and is younger than me "
I remember reading something about how people never read the descriptions, so to catch someone attention you had to make a descriptive title instead.
I uhh... was a translator for "Though Young People Recoil From Entering the Black Magic Industry, I Found Its Treatment of Employees Quite Good When I Entered It, and the President and Familiar Are Cute Too So Everything Is Awesome!"

The silliest one I've heard is "Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?".
Japan is doing the inverse of Hollywood naming everything with a single word.
Is it bad that I googled the book and instantly knew who did the cover illustration?

it's clearly pochi-goya, I have read some of their other work
Hentai for tabletop gamers: Nailing my hot neighbor with 1d6 damage and +5 to attack.
